Limits of the record
  • Searched all 21 JO extractions (MOI e-services page, MOI FAQ, MOI e-services launch news, investment texts) for qualifying relatives, sponsor status and relationship proof for the Family/Follower residence; only the service name appears, plus investor-family rules that belong to the investment vias. The old 2 JOD / 1000 JOD material is financial (r4) and was moved there.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The MOI e-services page, which lists Family/Follower Residency among its electronic transactions, states a service allowance of 2 JOD and a financial guarantee of 1000 JOD on the invited person in the electronic application.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The page states the 2 JOD allowance and 1000 JOD guarantee generically for 'the invited person in the electronic application'; it does not say they apply specifically to Family/Follower Residency.
  • No accommodation, health-insurance or maintenance/income requirement for the family member or sponsor is stated in any captured source.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Family/Follower Residency is one of the transactions the Ministry of Interior accepts electronically. At a high level, the applicant registers an account on the MOI e-services system, selects the required service, follows the application through the account, and pays electronically or in person. The official source does not state the family member's rights, the permit duration or any path to independent or longer-term status.

Limits of the record
  • No captured source states the rights of the family member (e.g. whether work is allowed).
  • No captured source states the permit duration, renewal period or any route to independent or longer-term status.
